✨ OPENING TONIGHT at MA&C on Main! ✨

Join us tonight for the opening reception of FRAGILE, a compelling exhibition bringing together the work of two talented Canadian artists, Amanda Greavette and EJ Lightman.

🗓️ Thursday, October 15, 2026 FREE EVENT
⏰ 6–8 PM
📍 MA&C on Main
63 Manitoba Street, Bracebridge, Ontario

FRAGILE explores the delicate cycles of accumulation and loss, renewal and decay, and our deeply human desire to mark, remember, and ritualize life’s experiences.

Through Amanda Greavette’s evocative figurative oil paintings and EJ Lightman’s thought-provoking sculptural assemblages, this exhibition invites us to reflect on what we hold onto, what we let go of, and the beauty found in the in-between.

🎨 MEET THE ARTISTS

✨ Amanda Greavette is a Muskoka-based Canadian figurative oil painter whose work explores the emotional terrain of womanhood, from the raw experiences of birth and early motherhood to the complexities of midlife. Her internationally exhibited work invites us into intimate, layered stories of human experience.

✨ EJ Lightman is a Toronto-based artist, sculptor, and founding member of the Tree Museum in Gravenhurst. With an extensive exhibition history spanning Canada and around the world, her practice brings together sculptural assemblage, material exploration, and a sensitivity to place and environment.

🥂 Come experience FRAGILE, meet the artists, and celebrate the opening of this remarkable exhibition with us!

Please RSVP for tonight’s reception so we can plan for food, drinks, and seating.

📅 Exhibition runs October 15 – November 8, 2026.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Today marks our final day at Windermere Village Hall, 2496 Windermere Road!

What a wonderful summer celebrating local art, creativity, and community! From showcasing the incredible work of our talented MA&C artists and makers to welcoming visitors into our seasonal gallery, it’s been a memorable first season!

One of our favourite highlights was our Summer Sparks Youth Art Program, bringing young artists together every Saturday throughout July and August for FREE hands-on art activities, imagination, and creative fun! 🎨✨

A heartfelt thank you to the Township of Muskoka Lakes, Christ Church, Windermere House, and all our wonderful visitors and families for supporting this exciting initiative.

💙 Thank you for being part of a wonderful summer filled with art, creativity, and community!

🏗️🌳 Little Architects, BIG Imaginations! 🏡✨

Yesterday at Mini Makers, our young creatives became architects for the day!

Using marshmallows and toothpicks, we put our building and engineering skills to the test, creating some pretty impressive structures! Then we let our imaginations run wild, designing and drawing our very own dream treehouses! 🎨💭

An afternoon filled with creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and a little sticky fun! ❤️

💚 A HUGE thank you to the District Municipality of Muskoka’s Community Grant Program for making Mini Makers FREE for all local youth this fall!

We’re so grateful for this support, helping us make art, creativity, and hands-on learning accessible to the next generation of Muskoka makers! 🎨
